          OFFERED PURSUANT TO RIGHTS DISTRIBUTED TO RECORD STOCKHOLDERS
                         OF GULFPORT ENERGY CORPORATION

                                                                __________, 2004

To  Our  Clients:

     Enclosed  for  your  consideration are a Prospectus, dated __________, 2004
(the  "Prospectus"),  and  the  "Instructions  as  to  Use  of  Gulfport  Energy
Corporation  Subscription  Rights  Certificates"  relating  to the offering (the
"Rights  Offering")  by  Gulfport  Energy  Corporation,  a  Delaware corporation
("Gulfport"),  of  shares  of  its  common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
"Common  Stock"),  pursuant  to  transferable subscription rights (the "Rights")
distributed  to all holders of record of shares of its Common Stock at the close
of business on __________, 2004 (the "Record Date"). The Rights are described in
Gulfport's  Prospectus.

     In  the Rights Offering, Gulfport is offering an aggregate of approximately
10,000,000  shares  of  its  Common  Stock, as described in the Prospectus.  The
Rights  will expire, if not exercised, at 5:00 p.m., Dallas time, on __________,
2004, unless extended in the sole discretion of Gulfport (as it may be extended,
the  "Expiration  Date").  As described in the accompanying Prospectus, you will
receive  one Right for every 1.0146 shares of Common Stock carried by us in your
account  as  of the Record Date.  Each Right will allow you to subscribe for one
share  of Common Stock (the "Basic Subscription Privilege") at the cash price of
$_____  per  share  (the  "Subscription  Price").

     In  addition,  holders  of  Rights  who  exercises their Basic Subscription
Privilege  in  full  will  be  eligible  to  subscribe  (the  "Over-Subscription
Privilege")  at  the  same  cash price of $ _____ per share for shares of Common
Stock  that are not otherwise purchased pursuant to the exercise of Rights under
the  Basic Subscription Privilege (the "Excess Shares"), subject to availability
and  pro  ration  as  described below.  A holder of Rights may only exercise its
Over-Subscription  Privilege  if  the  holder  exercised  its Basic Subscription
Privilege in full and other holders of subscription Rights do not exercise their
Basic  Subscription  Privilege in full. If there are not enough Excess Shares to
satisfy  all  subscriptions made under the Over-Subscription Privilege, Gulfport
will  allocate  the  remaining  Excess  Shares  pro  rata, after eliminating all
fractional   shares,   among   those   Rights   holders   who   exercised  their
Over-Subscription  Privileges.  "Pro  rata" means in proportion to the number of
shares  of  Common  Stock that each holder of Rights has purchased by exercising
its  Basic  Subscription  Privileges.  If  there is a pro rata allocation of the
remaining  Excess  Shares  and  a  holder  of Rights receives an allocation of a
greater  number  of  Excess  Shares  than  the  holder  subscribed for under its
Over-Subscription  Privilege, then Gulfport will allocate to the holder only the
number  of Excess Shares for which the holder subscribed. Gulfport will allocate
the  remaining  Excess  Shares  among   all  other   holders   exercising  their
Over-Subscription  Privileges. See "The Rights Offering-Subscription Privileges"
in  the  Prospectus.

     The  Rights  will be evidenced by transferable Rights certificates and will
be  null  and  void at the close of business on the Expiration Date.  The Rights
will  be  transferable  until  the  close  of  business  on the last trading day
preceding  the  Expiration  Date.

     The  materials  enclosed are being forwarded to you as the beneficial owner
of  Common  Stock carried by us in your account but not registered in your name.
Exercises  and  sales  of  Rights may be made only by us as the record owner and
pursuant  to  your  instructions.  Accordingly,  we  request  instructions as to
whether  you  wish  us  to elect to subscribe for any shares of Common Stock, or
sell  any Rights, to which you are entitled pursuant to the terms and subject to
the  conditions  set  forth in the enclosed Prospectus.  However, we urge you to
read the Prospectus and other enclosed materials carefully before instructing us
to  exercise  or  sell  your  Rights.




     Your  instructions  to  us  should  be forwarded as promptly as possible in
order  to permit us to exercise or sell Rights on your behalf in accordance with
the  provisions of the Rights Offering.  The Rights Offering will expire at 5:00
p.m.,  Dallas  time,  on the Expiration Date. Once you have exercised your Basic
Subscription  Privilege  and your Over-Subscription Privilege, such exercise may
not  be  revoked.

     If  you wish to have us, on your behalf, exercise the Rights for any shares
of  Common  Stock  to  which  you  are  entitled  or sell such Rights, please so
instruct us by completing, executing and returning to us the instruction form on
